...According to the Highway Loss Data Institute's list of vehicles most likely to be stolen, Hemi-equipped Dodge Challengers and Chargers are now the ride of choice for automotive miscreants. Interestingly, bandits seem to prefer larger vehicles on the whole — with full-sized pickups and large-engined cars topping the charts....
...You'll probably continue seeing Accords, Corollas, Civics, and F-Series pickups on subsequent most-stolen lists. Their volume alone makes them popular targets and any study going by sheer numbers is bound to include them. But the HLDI report quantifies automobiles by their relative risk using insurance data...
...Isolating vehicles by the 2016-18 model years, the Highway Loss Data Institute said the Dodge Charger was the whip pilferers found most tempting. So long as it was equipped with a V8, the outlet said it had a claim frequency of 544 — over five times the 100-point average...
...It was followed by Challenger SRT Hellcat (529) and Infiniti Q50 (525). But there's a sizable dip in popularity after that, with the Infiniti QX80 (422) receiving a take rate four just times higher than the industry average. The rest of the at-risk pack shook down as follows:
GMC Sierra 1500 crew cab (393)
Dodge Challenger (358)
Nissan Maxima (351)
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 crew cab (320)
Chrysler 300 AWD (293)
Mercedes-Benz S-Class long wheelbase (291)
Dodge Charger AWD (274)
Dodge Durango AWD (271)
Land Rover Range Rover (271)
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 crew cab 4WD (269)
Dodge Charger (266)
Nissan Titan crew cab short bed (250)
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 double cab (248)
GMC Sierra 1500 crew cab 4WD (241)
Audi A7 AWD (239)
Infiniti QX80 AWD (236)
Interesting that the Chevy/GMC pickups are at greater risk of being stolen, compared to Ford and RAM, which do not even appear on the Top20 list.
